LeadQuasar's Travel, Recreation, and Leisure industry has 204,548 contacts, and every one has an email address, a phone number, a website and a named person. The list covers 51 states. Owners and presidents are the largest groups, and there is an unusually deep bench of marketing people, which shapes how you should sell into it.
What this category actually contains
"Travel, recreation and leisure" is a wide net. It can include hotel groups and resorts, tour operators, attractions, entertainment venues, travel companies and the corporate offices behind them. Before you build a list, decide which of those you serve, then use the company website on each record to confirm the fit. A golf course and a cruise line could both land here, and they don't buy the same things.
If you only want one slice, LeadQuasar also has narrower categories: hotels, travel agencies, tour guides and theme parks. Those are smaller datasets. This one is person-level, with names and job titles.
Two buyer groups in one list
The top titles split into two camps.
The people who run the business:
- Owner (20,757)
- President (18,973)
- Chief Executive Officer (4,968)
- Chief Operating Officer (3,153)
- Operations Manager (2,386)
The people who fill it:
- Marketing Manager (4,654)
- Marketing Director (2,234)
- Marketing Executive (2,116)
Add Vice President (4,549) and Manager (6,137), and you have a list where marketing titles make up a meaningful share of the named roles. That fits the business. Leisure companies live or die on bookings, and bookings come from marketing: paid search, travel platforms, email lists, partnerships and group sales.
So the first question is which camp you sell to.
- Sell to marketing if you offer advertising, booking tools, content, photography, review management, influencer work or lead generation. Marketing people read email and judge offers on cost per booking.
- Sell to owners and operators if you offer insurance, staffing, maintenance, linens, food service, payments, software or financing. At an independent resort or attraction, the owner still signs these, often after a phone conversation.
Mapping the travel, recreation, and leisure data
| State | Contacts |
|---|---|
| California | 21,761 |
| Florida | 16,973 |
| New York | 16,563 |
| Texas | 12,338 |
| Maryland | 10,053 |
| Illinois | 9,126 |
| Nevada | 7,831 |
| Georgia | 7,356 |
The city figures tell a clearer story than the states. New York City leads with 7,561 contacts, and Las Vegas holds 6,193 of Nevada's 7,831. Orlando has 4,004 and Chicago 5,224.
Then there are the suburbs. Bethesda, Maryland has 6,230 contacts, which is most of Maryland's total. West Harrison, New York has 3,141 and Parsippany, New Jersey 1,798. Small towns with numbers that size point to corporate headquarters, not front desks. If you sell enterprise services to hospitality and travel companies, those cities are where the decision-makers work. If you sell to individual properties, look at destination cities like Las Vegas, Orlando and Miami (2,232) instead.
When they buy
Leisure is seasonal, and the buying calendar runs ahead of the travel calendar. A summer destination plans and signs vendors in the off-season, when the staff have time to take a meeting. A ski area does the same in late summer. The busy weeks are the worst time to call anyone who works on site.
Corporate offices are less seasonal, but budgets still follow the fiscal year. Ask when planning happens and put a follow-up in your calendar for a few weeks before that.
Outreach that fits the list
With full email and phone coverage, you can choose the channel by role rather than by what data exists.
- Marketing titles: email first. Lead with a number they track: bookings, occupancy, cost per lead, review score. Keep it to a few sentences and one question. Our cold email guide walks through the structure.
- Owners at independent properties: phone first. Call outside peak check-in and event hours. Say what you do in one sentence and ask who handles it.
- Headquarters contacts: be specific about scope. A regional VP at a hotel group cares whether you can serve fifty properties. Don't pitch them like a single-site owner.
- Follow the rules. Stay within CAN-SPAM and any state rules that apply to calls and email.

Why do Bethesda and West Harrison have so many contacts?
